As usually, no need to uninstall your current release to upgrade.
If you have to come back to a previous release (I hope you will not have to ), you need to first remove the driver files (lnsfw.sys/vxd, lnsfw1.sys/vxd) before running the old setup exe.

Is 2.04p2 a beta version? If not, why is it not the version linked to on the looknstop.com site (i.e. http://www.looknstop.com/En/LooknStop_Setup_204.exe)?

It is not a beta version but an update/patch version (minor modifications, bug fixes essentially).
However, we put the version only here in a first step, in case of problem.
Since it seems the version is Ok, the site will now be updated soon.

It appears to me PowerDesk (PDEXPLO.EXE) is being used rather then Windows Shell (Explorer.exe) to Launch these Clients “It completely replaces Windows® Explorer” therefore PDEXPLO.EXE is seen as “Running” these Clients and blocking the “Run” Type prevents any Clients Launched by this program to access the Internet Resources…

Example; before using Shell Replacement have you every tried to BLOCK Windows Explorer (Explorer.exe) from Launching rights? See the results when attempting to launch a Client?

Well if you in reference too .bat file Launching the Executables then CMD.EXE (Windows Command Processor) would be seen as Launching the Client and if CMD isn’t being BLOCKED it shouldn’t give you too much problems…

Downloaded and then Installed PowerDesk v5.0.1.2.
Been fiddling around with it and so far I don’t see it attempting to make any Connections attempts. However I do get Application Filtering Alerts stating PDEXPLOR.EXE has started the following application which connects to Internet. And denying this prevents the Client Application from accessing the Internet resources.

And starting a client from a batch file I get Application Filtering Alert stating Windows Command Process has started the following application which connects to Internet. Denying this prevents the Client Applications from connecting to the internet resources.

including the fact that I was prompted repeatedly for applications I had already allowed

I can reproduce that too when selecting “Just this time” for Application Filtering Alert and clicking Authorize or Block buttons.
